Multi-Utilities
Multi-Utilities Prepared to Enable Coordinated Service Installation
Multi-utilities works delivered by Allstone Earthworks focus on preparing sites for the coordinated installation of essential services across residential and commercial developments. The scope centres on groundworks-led preparation rather than the installation of live services, ensuring routes, levels and access are correctly established before specialist providers attend site.
By planning multi-utilities preparation alongside ground modelling and early earthworks activities, service corridors can be set out accurately and integrated with wider infrastructure, reducing disruption as construction progresses.
Typical Multi-Utilities Preparation Works on Site
Multi-utilities preparation works are tailored to suit site layout, phasing and the requirements of utility providers.
- Formation of service corridors and utility routes
- Installation of ducting for electricity, gas and telecommunications
- Preparation of trenches and access for incoming services
- Coordination of levels with drainage and road construction
- Backfilling and reinstatement following duct installation
- Phased delivery to suit build programmes and plot releases
These works provide a clear and accessible framework for service providers to complete their installations efficiently and safely.
Coordinating Multi-Utilities With Drainage and Roads
Multi-utilities preparation is delivered as a groundworks-led activity that creates clear routes and access for service providers.
Service corridors and ducting runs are planned alongside drainage routes and road build-ups to reduce clashes and minimise disruption once permanent infrastructure is installed. This sequencing helps protect ducting and reduces the risk of reopening completed areas later in the programme.
Coordination with road construction works supports efficient installation ahead of surfacing and completion.
Digital Planning and Records for Multi-Utilities Works
Multi-utilities preparation is supported through Allstone Earthworks’ digital, zero paperwork approach.
Digital records help maintain clarity around service routes, duct installation and coordination points, supporting communication with utility providers and reducing delays caused by missing information on live sites.
Maintaining accessible records also supports continuity as sites move from enabling works into active construction.
Environmental and Safety Controls During Utilities Preparation
Utilities preparation involves trenching, duct installation and reinstatement, all of which require controlled site conditions.
Environmental and safety measures are applied through Construction Phase Action Plans, with focus on trench safety, runoff control and protection of surrounding ground conditions during active works.
This supports SEPA requirements where applicable and aligns with the wider environmental management approach used across Allstone Earthworks’ infrastructure works.
